I feel lucky to have a unique perspective on William & Mary. As a Muscarelle Museum of Art Foundation board member, an emeritus member of the William & Mary Law School Foundation board and a past president of the Alumni Association, I’ve seen first-hand the resources and commitment it takes to keep William & Mary on the leading edge of higher education — and how diligently the university puts our contributions to work. My late husband, Alvin ’70, J.D. ’72, would be happy to know that in addition to continuing our more than 40-year legacy of annual giving, I’ve included our alma mater in my estate plans.

  • Is There Enough Money and Talent in D-FW to Support All These Midsize Concert Venues?
    Is there enough money and talent in D-FW to support all these midsize concert venues? Mar. 5, 2018 6:00am With the recent openings of Canton Hall and the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory, Dallas-Fort Worth is now officially saturated with midsize concert venues, many of them competing for the same shows. But is this boom in midsize venues a boon for pop and rock lovers? Or is the competition driving up ticket prices and making life more difficult for independent promoters? The answer is "all of the above." Midsize venues are bigger than nightclubs and smaller than sports arenas, and hold between 1,000 and 8,000 fans — a spectrum that includes more than 15 places in D-FW ranging from oversize honky-tonks like Billy Bob's Texas to fancy joints like the Majestic Theatre and the Winspear Opera House. Several new midsize spaces have popped up in recent years, including Gas Monkey Live and the revamped Bomb Factory, as well as Canton Hall in Deep Ellum and Toyota Music Factory in Irving, which holds up to 4,000 for indoor shows and 8,000 for outdoor concerts. (See accompanying list.) On the one hand, the more, the merrier, says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the concert industry publication Pollstar. "It's nice to be blessed with those kind of riches in your market. ... It gives fans more of a choice," he says. of venues can put a dent in the wallets of concertgoers. "In the concert business, competition between promoters tends to drive prices up," he says.

    Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County by Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker San Antonio, Texas March 2018 i i Tricentennial Chronology And The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County By Robert Garcia Jr. Hector J. Cardenas and Dr. Amy Jo Baker Published by Paso de la Conquista San Antonio, Texas Mar. 2018 i Library of Congress Control Number: 2018934169 Published: Feb, 2018 San Antonio, Texas Copyright Pending. Outside Cover of Mission San José: public domain ii Introduction In 2015, San Antonio’s Tricentennial Commission created the opportunity for the citizens of San Antonio to rediscover their shared cultural heritage, history and to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of our beloved City in 1718. Collaboratives were formed with public institutions to further develop presentations commemorating our City’s history. Many months were spent on these projects and in the year 2018, they will be presented to the public in open venues. An out-come of this year’s celebration is this publication, “Tricentennial Chronology and The Founding Events In The History of San Antonio And Bexar County”. The last published chronology of San Antonio was in 1950 by Edward Hunsinger. For this new study, approximately 1½ years was spent developing additional details and entries of events in San Antonio’s 300-year history. Other chronologies were studied, books were referenced and honored historians were consulted. Every attempt was made to edit and re-edit the many editions of the chronology until this latest edition is being published.

  • RJD2 Presents “We Come Alive” Featuring Son Little, New Single Off Dame Fortune, out March 25Th on RJ’S Electrical Connections
    March 2, 2016 For Immediate Release RJD2 Presents “We Come Alive” Featuring Son Little, New Single Off Dame Fortune, out March 25th on RJ’s Electrical Connections https://soundcloud.com/officialrjd2/06-we-come-alivefeaturing-son-little/s-q00mh (RJD2 image by Nick Fancher) Dame Fortune, the sixth studio album by veteran producer and cratedigger extraordinaire RJD2, is streaked with Philadelphia’s reputation for deeply felt soul music while maintaining a playful sense of adventurousness. No song better represents this than the album’s slinky centerpiece, “We Come Alive” featuring Son Little (aka Aaron Livingston). Working together in various entities, most recently the duo’s Icebird project, the producer and guest vocalist have a creative connection easily recognized by the strength of this standout single. As described by RJ, “Our musical tastes are very similar—he can go from Black Sabbath to Dennis Brown and not miss a beat. We work very well together." Dame Fortune was recorded over the past year while living in Philadelphia before RJD2 moved back to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. In addition to Son Little, the thought-provoking, yet deliciously entertaining album features guest vocals by Jordan Brown, Blueprint and frequent collaborator Phonte, while also presenting the bombastic hip-hop sound that marked RJD2's breakthrough album, Deadringer, and even an orchestral composition for the societal unrest experienced in this day and age. Dame Fortune is out March 25th on RJ’s Electrical Connections. iTunes pre-orders come with instant grat downloads of “Peace of What,” “The Sheboygan Left,” and “We Come Alive” featuring Son Little.

  • Ouch Podcast
    Ouch Talk Show 2 September 2016 bbc.co.uk/ouch Presented by Emma Tracey Jack Carroll: I’m Not Properly Disabled EMMA Hello and welcome to Inside Ouch. I’m Emma Tracey and this week I’m bringing you the final one of my interviews from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which is a huge arts event which takes over the city of Edinburgh throughout August. But before I get to that I just wanted to tell you about a couple of the disabled comedians who have been performing in this year’s festival: The BBC New Comedy Award winner 2016 was Jethro Bradley who has autism. You can hear more from him on the BBC Edinburgh Fringe podcast, and I believe he was on day 11. Also an exciting news, Lost Voice guy, Lee Ridley, who has cerebral palsy and doesn’t speak, he has had a pilot commissioned for Radio 4 comedy so we’ll be very excited to hear how that goes for him as well. Earlier on in August I went to the flat of Jack Carroll, who is a young comedian with cerebral palsy who came second in Britain’s Got Talent in 2014. He’s been going from strength to strength since and he’s still only 17. I went to visit him and I met his dad and we chatted about all the things about letting your 17 year old go off to the festival, and heavy doors in Edinburgh flats, and all that kind of thing. And then we got on to the question that we ask all comedians with cerebral palsy: why are there so many of you? JACK I don’t know but I’m going to have to kill a few of them; just get rid of the competition.
